Scuttled - Yes, it's impressive. There's been some interesting to-and-fro about CONOPS and low-high altitude, with MAD disappearing from USN and remaining on the Indian aircraft, and future Blocks being planned around high-alt tactics and gizmos like sonobuoy-tube-launched UAVs and glider torpedoes.

Also, some suggestions 'ere and there that sub-launched weapons like the Diehl IDAS (or equivalents) could give the sub commander a last-ditch option against a low-level MAD pass...
